Looking at the guests who were walking around on the small deck to watch the scenery, the boss of the boat in charge of the boat accompanied him and carefully persuaded: "Master Ma, this has already reached the heart of the river, the wind and waves on the river are urgent, in case you get cold from the wind, the villain can't afford to bear it, so please go back to the cabin to rest." (The text was first published in the Cabinet biquge.info)"

"It's out of the way." The middle-aged scribe smiled and shook the folding fan in his hand, rejecting the kindness of the ship boss. "This way the boat is the same scene, it's enough to be aggrieved, now the boat is in the middle of the river, you have to see it, by the way, where is the direction of the cold spring, can you lean over?" The old man replied, and the scribe nodded and sighed. "Just the surface of the Yangtze River is so wide, I don't know how boundless the sea scene must be."

"There are three feet of waves on the sea without wind, and although the small ones have been sailing on the rivers for many years, they dare not say anything to export." The boat boss explained with a smile. "I'm afraid that only those sea adversaries can sail and be invincible." The middle-aged scribe nodded thoughtfully, and before he could ask something more, his eyes were attracted by a certain scene in the distance, and he couldn't move his steps anymore, seeing the appearance of the scribe, the boat boss also turned his head to look, and the next moment he suddenly exclaimed. "Red flag boat, quick, quick, come to shore."

The reprimanded sailors immediately adjusted the angle of the sails, and the captain of the boat did not bother to say anything to the scribes, and suddenly grabbed a large oar and joined the rowing team. But his efforts didn't seem to have any effect at all, and he saw the oncoming ships slash through the river and rush over like arrows from the string.

"What a terrible thing is the Red Boat?" The scribe was puzzled by the ship's boss's exaggerated reaction, and asked eagerly. "Why is the owner of the ship hiding?"

"Master Ma, hurry up and go into the warehouse to hide, don't ask anything." The ship's boss didn't have time to answer the scribe's question, but looking at the other party nailed in front of him, the ship's boss had no choice but to explain. "It's a soft sailing ship against the sea." The scribe exclaimed, and heard the ship's boss complain. "Hai Rebellion has never been imported, I don't know how it happened to be here today, these masters of the sailors are all just eating and not doing anything?"

Several passenger and cargo boats and more fishing boats on the river were making evasive movements, but Zheng Jun's briefing boat did not seem to see them at all, and went straight to the side. Watching the Zheng Army's soft sail gunboats pass by, the boatmen who had just wiped their sweat were horrified to find that more and larger Zheng gunboats were still behind.

"What a big ship." The middle-aged scribe standing at the door of the cabin exclaimed. "It's been more than a dozen, and this is the sea reversal?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to shell Jingkou." The relieved boat boss responded. "It's just Master Ma, in this way, I'm afraid that our crossing of the river will not be possible, and your old trip will be delayed."

"It doesn't matter." The middle-aged scribe swept the inner cabin and said softly. "As long as the person is okay"

The report flew like snowflakes to the Lion Forest where Kangxi was stationed in Suzhou City, but due to the destruction of Su Song's naval division and other units, the Qing army did not have the strength to stop the Zheng fleet from sailing into the Yangtze River. At the end of the day, it became clear that General Jingkou had reported that the camp of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jingkou had been shelled and that the Taicang Zhizhou had reported that a large number of Zheng army troop carriers had been tracing up the river.

Kangxi keenly believed that the goal of Zheng's army was to capture Jiangning, and then sweep Jiangnan on the premise of blocking the Yangtze River. But at this time, the Jingkou garrison was only 6,000, and there were only 10,000 people in Jinling City, so they might not be able to support the superior Zheng army, and it was almost impossible to expect Zheng Kezhang to make Zheng Chenggong's mistakes again, so what should he do?

But now it is unrealistic and impossible to order the transfer of more than 100,000 troops who have entered Fujian back to rescue Jiangnan, and the retinue army, which once had 50,000 horses, is now only 20,000 because of the rotation of troops - the rest are either still on the way or are blocked in Jiangbei - is it possible to watch Zheng Jun capture Jingkou and then attack Jiangning, but he can only sit back in Suzhou City and wait for the opponent to succeed? Kangxi obviously would not make such a choice.

After a night of repeated consideration, Kangxi decided to lead 20,000 horses to reinforce Jiangning, but his decision was unanimously opposed by the ministers of Suihu, Kangxi, who had never commanded a specific battle, got off the donkey under the arguments of the ministers, and gave the command of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade to Prince Jian Yabu and Jiangning General Miao Zina, and left Suo Etu and others to counsel the military affairs, and he led more than 2,000 people such as the imperial guards to return to Hangzhou to dispatch the overall situation.

Yabu and Miuzina had just taken over the military affairs, and before they could even decide whether to immediately summon the green battalions left behind in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, the report of the fall of Jingkou was sent to Suzhou from Jiangning and Changzhou.

"Jin Shirong, this idiot, actually wants to do something half-crossing," Miao Zina, an authentic Manchurian Eight Banners, naturally felt that he was more upright than a colleague like Jin Shirong who was born in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, so he gloated a little. "The result is good, Zhenjiang lost it too quickly." Muzzina sighed bitterly. "My lord, our errand is very difficult."

"If it's hard, it's going to be done." Yabu took two steps around the room with his hands behind his back, and said with a stern face after standing on his heels. "Zhenjiang lost too quickly, so that we don't have enough time to gather troops, so now the plan must immediately wave troops northward to contain the sea rebellion, so that it can not attack Jiangning urgently, as long as we can form a confrontation, we can slowly gather troops, on the other hand, even if the sea is superior, but after all, it comes from thousands of miles, it is the source of no root, as long as it survives this period of time, the shape can be reversed."

Yabu said lightly, but at this time it was the rainy season around the Qingming Dynasty, and Fei Fei's drizzle was bound to delay the whereabouts of the Qing army's brigade, so Miao Zina, who had lived in Jiangnan for more than ten years, persuaded: "The city of Jiangning is strong, even if the 100,000 army besieges the city, it may not be able to go down in one drum, but if our army advances rapidly, in case the sea rebels against the city and does not care about dealing with us, once it is lost, there will be no troops to resist in Jiangnan, and the situation is not conducive to the overall situation of the imperial court." ”

Hearing this, he sat on the side and asked Suo Etu with some displeasure: "Is it possible to see Hai Reverse calmly attack Jiangning?" ”

Suo Etu's position is special, although he is only nominally a counselor in military affairs, Yabu and Miuzina must not be treated as his ordinary staff officers, so Miuzina explained: "Soge Lao, in fact, I can't get up fast if I want to, this rain, this river. ”

Miuzina said with a wry smile: "Even if the forward battalion and other units ride straight to the front line of Jingkou, people are tired, how can they fight against the sea rebellion, besides, the tiger gun battalion and other units are mostly from the northern region, and it is excellent to dress up and sell off on weekdays, but if you really want to fight against the sea rebellion from the south miasma in the humid and hot land south of the Yangtze River, the outcome can be described as unpredictable." ”

The so-called victory or defeat is unpredictable, of course Suo Etu knew that it was already a tactful statement, but this big pavilion elder understood Kangxi's thoughts, so he asked regardless of it: "Even if this is not enough, it is not appropriate to indulge the sea rebellion and attack the city, and ask for a perfect way." ”

Regarding the request of the minister on behalf of Kangxi, Miao Zina pondered for a while before saying: "Maybe you can march into Changzhou to contain the sea rebellion." ”

In Changzhou, Yabu and Suo Etu's eyes fell on the map on the side and found this city on the side of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Speaking of which, the location of Changzhou is indeed good, it can go straight to the mouth of Beijing along the canal, and it can indeed threaten the "back road" of the Zheng army to contain the further actions of the Zheng army, which is completely in line with the image of Miuzina's conservative use of troops in the past.

Although Suo Etu knew a little about military affairs, he had no way to make a judgment in front of the big field, so he had to kick the ball in front of the old and sick Prince Jane: "What does the prince think? ”

"Changzhou is still too far from Jingkou," Yabu pointed to the map. "It's still Danyang."

"If it's Danyang, it's a stone's throw away from the sea," Muzzina looked at the map worriedly. "The prince still has to think twice."

The subtext of Muzzina's words is already very direct, everyone knows what is going on with the Eight Banners now, not to mention that these Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade can follow Kangxi with their own origins, and they really want to let Yabu be damaged, the other party is the prince is the master, so he naturally reprimanded two sentences at most, but he felt that he would become a scapegoat, and he would become the target of several powerful families.

"How did Tuhai beat Brny back then?" Jabu looked at Muzzina and Soetu. "It's just that there are no other high-ranking officials, these bastard boys can't fight, I'll take a look and try." Jabu slowly sat down in his chair. "In the final analysis, the Qing Dynasty still relies on the Manchurians themselves, if the high-ranking officials can still inspire a few, the Qing Dynasty still has hope, if it is not possible, Suo Ge Lao, you still rush back to Hangzhou to persuade the emperor to choose the way to return to Beijing, this Jiangnan is not the Qing Dynasty in South China."

"Why is the prince so pessimistic, it's over, it's over." Suo Etu said duplicitously, but he was prepared in his heart, and then he diverted the topic. "Lord Wang, although the sea is cross-current, but this rolling Yangtze River is not something they can cut off lightly, do you send someone to sneak across the river and contact the reinforcements in the north."

"Suo Ge doesn't know." Muzena replied for Jab. "It may be possible for one or two people, one or two boats to dive across the Yangtze River, but how can the thousands of reinforcements avoid the eyes and ears of the sea rebellion."

Suo Etu was originally speechless, but now he was explained by Miao Zina, and he made a sudden realization, but before the performance was over, he suddenly shook his body and looked at the two of them with frightened eyes: "In case the war drags on, the summer grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces cannot be transported to Beijing, and the grain price in Beijing this year will not be boundless." ”

"Last year, most of the output of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was used as military rations for the southern expeditionary army." Muzzina replied with an ugly face. "The grain transported to the north is only 400,000 stones, and the price of grain in Beijing is already high, and now if it is completely interrupted, it is easy to estimate hundreds of dollars per bucket, which is exactly the trick of the sea to force the imperial court to fight quickly?"
